Series Extraction Rules

Package Code Extraction Rules

The handler uses different extraction logic per product family:

Pressure Sensors (HSC/SSC/ABP/MPR)

// Extract last 2 characters from the main part (before any hyphen)
// HSCDANN001PG2A3 -> A3 -> DIP
String suffix = mainPart.substring(mainPart.length() - 2);
switch (suffix) {
    case "A3" -> "DIP"
    case "A5" -> "SMT"
    case "AA" -> "DIP"
    case "SA" -> "SIP"
    case "MD" -> "SMD"
}

Humidity Sensors (HIH)

// Package code is in the second segment after hyphen
// HIH6130-021-001 -> 021 -> SIP
switch (segment) {
    case "021" -> "SIP"   // SIP non-condensing
    case "022" -> "SMD"   // SMD non-condensing
    case "031" -> "SIP"   // SIP condensing
    case "032" -> "SMD"   // SMD condensing
}

Hall Effect Sensors (SS4xx/SS5xx)

// Package code is the letter before final digit (if present)
// SS495A1 -> A -> TO-92
// SS441A  -> A -> TO-92
switch (pkgChar) {
    case 'A' -> "TO-92"
    case 'E' -> "SOT-89"
    case 'T' -> "SOT-23"
    case 'L' -> "SIP"
}

Magnetometers (HMC)

// Look for trailing L indicating LCC package
// HMC5883L -> L -> LCC
if (basePart.endsWith("L")) return "LCC"

Official Replacement Logic

The

isOfficialReplacement()

1. Same series: Parts in the same series are typically compatible (different packages)
2. Pressure range match: For pressure sensors, range must match for compatibility
3. Known compatible pairs:
   • HIH6130 <-> HIH6131 (alarm output variant)
   • HIH8120 <-> HIH8121 (alarm output variant)
   • HIH4000 <-> HIH4010 (covered variant)
   • HMC5883 variants

Handler Implementation Notes

matches() Override

The handler provides explicit

matches()

@Override
public boolean matches(String mpn, ComponentType type, PatternRegistry patterns) {
    switch (type) {
        case HUMIDITY_SENSOR:
            return upperMpn.matches("^HIH[0-9].*");
        case PRESSURE_SENSOR:
            return upperMpn.matches("^HSC[A-Z].*") ||
                   upperMpn.matches("^SSC[A-Z].*") ||
                   upperMpn.matches("^ABP[A-Z].*") ||
                   upperMpn.matches("^MPR[A-Z].*");
        // ... etc.
    }
}

getSupportedTypes() Pattern

Uses

Set.of()

@Override
public Set<ComponentType> getSupportedTypes() {
    return Set.of(
        ComponentType.SENSOR,
        ComponentType.HUMIDITY_SENSOR,
        ComponentType.PRESSURE_SENSOR,
        ComponentType.HALL_SENSOR,
        ComponentType.MAGNETOMETER,
        ComponentType.SENSOR_OPTICAL
    );
}

Learnings & Quirks

• SS49x vs SS4xx conflict: The handler uses specific patterns to distinguish linear sensors (SS49x, SS59x) from switch sensors (SS4xx where xx != 9x). Patterns

  SS4[0-8][0-9]

  exclude SS49x.
• Pressure sensor range extraction: Range is embedded in the long MPN string at different positions. The handler searches for 3-digit or 4-digit numeric chunks.
• Humidity sensor package in hyphenated segment: Unlike most manufacturers where package is a suffix, HIH sensors encode package info in the second hyphen-separated segment (021, 022, 031, 032).
• HMC5883 vs HMC5883L: Both extract series "HMC5883" but "L" suffix indicates LCC package. They are the same IC in different packages.
• No manufacturer-specific ComponentTypes: Unlike TI or ST handlers, Honeywell uses generic types (HUMIDITY_SENSOR, PRESSURE_SENSOR) without _HONEYWELL suffixes.
• getManufacturerTypes() returns empty set: Honeywell does not define custom ManufacturerComponentType enums.
